There are definitely similarities between Ruby and Smalltalk blocks and the
former was inspired by the latter, however the syntax is different. I
implemented the Ruby syntax here, hence the comparison to Ruby. Obviously
what I've implemented here doesn't have the same semantics as either Ruby or
Smalltalk blocks. It's just syntactic sugar (or syntactic vomit, depending
on your opinion)
